American broadcaster and journalist Savannah Guthrie’s mother was reported as missing earlier this week. Her mother’s name was Nancy Guthrie, an 89-year-old Christian Bible teacher, author, and speaker. At the beginning of the women’s disappearance, it was not officially labeled as a kidnapping. However, recent speculation has revealed there may be more than what’s on the surface.
There is an ongoing investigation to find Nancy Guthrie, and are currently being updated live on multiple news channels and websites.
Nancy Guthrie had disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, and police have found no suspects as of now. She was taken in the middle of the night, and authorities are investigating an alleged ransom note, which led them to believe she was taken against her will.
The family has released two videos pleading for the return of their mother and noting her poor health. She may be in dire health without her medication due to these concerning issues.
Concern grew when Nancy was seen missing from her church, and the police were notified by her family. The search soon began right after the call was made, which continued until the next morning. There was also blood found on Nancy Guthrie’s porch, which was confirmed later to be hers.
Two ransom notes were sent, with two deadlines. One was 17:00 with no timeline given on Thursday, February 6. That had already passed. Another one was reported fake, and the FBI had arrested a person on Thursday morning.
“We are ready to talk,” Savannah Guthrie said. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and you have her…Please, reach out to us.”
A separate video on Thursday, February 6, made by Nancy’s son, Camron, said the family still had no contact from the alleged kidnappers.
“I believe kidnapping in general is wrong. Why are you using violence against someone for your own benefit? It’s just wrong. The people affected suffer greatly with lifelong issues and PTSD from the event. I hope Nancy can be returned home soon, and no harm comes her way,” said Amira Lacy, a concerned student at Roosevelt High School.
